There are thousands of new writers who write books and try to publish them each year and millions more worldwide will consider writing one, but will fail to follow through on the process. In fact,
"81%
of people feel
that they have a book
in them…and should write it."
two recent articles in the New York Times point out the market. One states that according to a survey performed, “81% of
people feel that they have a book in them…and should write it.” In an April 24, 2005 article, a number of publishing
insiders and print on-demand executives discussed the likelihood that it will soon become commonplace for everyday
people to publish books, even if just 20 copies for their family and friends. Xerox has been advertising aggressively on
television, looking to launch a wave of writers.For years, people have waited for the right book that gives them the encouragement, explains everything in simple terms, and shows them the different ways that writing a book can improve their lives. Get Between the Covers is that book, and it is meant to motivate newer writers and the 200 million Americans with a desire to write a book, but who haven’t developed a strong enough conviction or who are intimidated by the process. Not only does it get people interested in writing books and in the variety of publishing options available to them, including many which are inexpensive and are readily available for anyone writing on any topic, but it guides them through the process from day one and offers suggestions, without being too preachy or overloading them with information. Everyone has the ability to write a book (although not necessarily a well-written, award-winning book) and we all have stories and knowledge to share, even if just for a small market of people, which will be lost if we don’t start writing thousands more books. This book is ideal for anyone, from a college student to an elderly person with years of experience. With your help, Get Between the Covers will make writing a book more of an element of popular culture, and it will become the most influential book written to motivate individuals to write books. As you will see, chapters are made easier to follow and are enhanced by the addition of anecdotes, humor, success stories uncovered in research, and from interviews with different types of people in the publishing industry: perennial national bestselling authors, other highly successful authors, all of the leading publishing insiders (Dan Poynter, Marilyn Ross, Michael Larsen, Rick Frishman, John Kremer, etc.), and even smaller, self-published authors, with whom many new writers can related. Additionally, the authors add numerous stories and examples from their own lives both in publishing and in business to reinforce points and connect with readers. At 85,000 words, divided among 23 chapters, it is user-friendly and easy to follow, so that readers can get through it quickly and get started on their own books, and it is a comprehensive, one-stop approach for a new writer. It can be described as the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff or the Rich Dad, Poor Dad for individuals looking to find a creative outlet in writing. While our book avoids the approach of the lengthier, more specific references in this market, it does refer to them in certain chapters for the edification of the readers. These other sources are not competition for Get Between the Covers, but rather they strengthen the message and help readers to become more knowledgeable and produce better finished products of their own.
